OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE STREAMLIGHT H.I.D. LiteBox®/
E-Flood® LiteBox® HL
Thank you for selecting the H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL. As with any fine tool,
reasonable care and maintenance of this product will provide years of dependable service.
Please read this manual before using your H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL. It includes
important safety and operating instructions and should be saved.
OPERATION
•Charge the H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL overnight before first use.
• H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL features a three position switch that controls the
operation of the lamp. Push the switch upward to operate from the internal battery
or downward to operate from external 12VDC power via the supplied 10 foot cord.
• The center position is the "off" position.
• Depending on the actual ballast and lamp used in the H.I.D. LiteBox, the H.I.D. lamp
may flash intermittently or suddenly extinguish altogether at the end of the H.I.D.
run time (internal battery only).
• The H.I.D. LiteBox features a swivel head that rotates 270 degrees. Pull side tabs to
release. DO NOT force the head beyond its swivel stops. Resecure the head when
not in use.
• The E-Flood LiteBox HL features a pivoting head that can be adjusted upward or
downward as desired. Loosen the handle mounted pivot control knob and direct the
head to the desired position. Tighten the knob to maintain the adjustment.
• The center of the lens on the E-Flood LiteBox HL is equipped with a concentric switch
that is used to select the brightness setting (Hi-Med-Lo). Depress the center of the
switch to select the desired output. The outer ring of the switch can be turned to
achieve a more or less defined beam spread.
SAFETY
A. BEFORE USING YOUR H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL AND CHARGER, READ
ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL AND ALL CAUTIONARY MARKINGS ON THE
CHARGER.
B. DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE The H.I.D. lamp requires thousands of volts at startup
and has high internal pressure. DO NOT operate the H.I.D. LiteBox unless the lamp
and ballast assemblies are properly mounted inside the head, and the reflector/lens
assembly and the lens ring are in place.
D. WARNING: Never leave your H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL with its lamp face
against any surface including skin while in operation. The resultant heat build-up
can cause a fire or burns.

E. The H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL is not approved for use in hazardous
atmospheres.
F. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important safety, operating
and maintenance information for your H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL and
charger.
G. CAUTION: Use ONLY a 12V vehicle power source OR Streamlight AC chargers 22060
(100V JAPAN/120V USA), 22061 (230V EURO) or 22062 (240V UK).
WARNING: Any other AC charger, including other Streamlight chargers, may
overheat and fail or cause a burn hazard.
Use only battery #45630. The H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL contains a sealed lead-
acid battery. Recycle the battery responsibly when no longer serviceable. DO NOT
INCINERATE THE BATTERY EVEN IF IT IS SEVERELY DAMAGED OR COMPLETELY
WORN OUT. The battery can explode in a fire
CHARGING
Fully charge your H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL before first use. The H.I.D. LiteBox/
E-Flood LiteBox HL may be stored in the charger continuously when not in use.
To charge the H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL, first turn it off and insert it into the
charger. H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL will only fit one (1) way into the rack.
Charging will occur only when the switch is “off.” The H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox
HL may also be charged without using the charge rack by plugging the charge cord
directly into the socket in the rear of the H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL. To release
the light from the rack, push the black release bar down, slide the light away from the
release bar and lift up.
The H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL is available in two basic systems: the Standard
model and the Vehicle model and they come with convenient recharging racks that also
securely store the H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL. The battery is rated at a nominal
7 ampere-hours and is capable of being recharged up to 500 times. The switch is on
the left side of the handle. A pair of charging indicators is located on the opposite side
underneath the information label. The red LED means that the light is charging. The
green LED means it is charged and ready for use. It is important to understand that a
battery can take from only minutes to a maximum of 24 hours to fully charge depending
on the battery's residual charge and other factors. For some period of time near the
end of charge, both the red and green LEDs may be on at the same time. When fully
charged, the red LED should turn "off" completely and the green LED should turn "on"
steadily.
Note: The battery will continue to charge while the light is being operated in external
power mode.
Before mounting a Streamlight charger in a vehicle, please read the following sections.

CHARGER MOUNTING
Before drilling any holes, make sure there is room to insert and remove the H.I.D. LiteBox/
E-Flood LiteBox HL. Four (4) self-tapping 1 1/4" #8 screws are included with each rack
and should be sufficient for most mounting situations. Should your mounting situation
require heavier hardware, use #8 machine screws. The recommended mounting positions
are from horizontal to vertical (with the lamp end facing up
).
VEHICULAR CHARGING
The direct wire charge rack is available for permanent installation.
(The standard charge rack can be used with standard DC cord # 22051, which has a
cigarette lighter plug for temporary installations.).
IMPORTANT: Before making electrical connections in a vehicle, keep in mind that a
shorted auto battery can easily start a fire.
Make all connections with insulated lugs or other connectors intended for such use. Be
sure that your installation is fused (A ten-amp fuse must be used on the positive lead).
The red or red striped lead is positive and the unmarked lead is negative. When
connecting the charger to a fuse block, the red positive power lead goes to the connector
that is dead when the vehicle's fuse is removed. The charger body is electrically isolated
from the charge circuit and allows positive ground installations.
Streamlight recommends connecting chargers to an unswitched source of power to
ensure the H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL is always fully charged. If the vehicle
will not be driven for several days, the H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL should be
removed from the charger to avoid vehicle battery drain.
Charging the H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL with a fully discharged battery draws
approximately 3 ampere hours until fully charged and up to ¼ ampere continuously in
maintenance (green) mode.
Note: The H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL draws approximately 7 ampere hours while
charging/operating in the external power mode.
MAINTENANCE
Should your H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL need service we recommend returning
it to the Streamlight Repair Department or a Streamlight Authorized Service Center.
Use ONLY official Streamlight replacement parts and carefully follow the specific
instructions packaged with the parts.
While the lead-acid battery supplied with the H.I.D. LiteBox/ E-Flood LiteBox HL
has been specifically selected to tolerate deep discharges, the battery should be
charged as soon as possible after use to ensure maximum service life. The battery
should never be "exercised" in an attempt to erase "memory" which does not occur
with lead-acid batteries
